Okay, if you want it spelt out.

Teethless mama made a point, which regardless of what the OP had said, was
valid. Your response was curt and to my eyes, petulant. TM's response was to
explain in greater detail, I think he felt you didn't understand what he was
saying. To which you made the same response. And so it went on, throgh
numerous iterations, with you responding with the same silly response rather
than a reasoned argument. TM then made an unwise statement, but your
response was out of line (IMO).

And ... I have seen you make the same sort of comment on other postings many
times.

One way:

Try this array formula**:

=SUM(IF(LEFT(A1:A10)="S",MID(A1:A10,2,255)+0))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

Perhaps this feature is not supported in Excel but here goes.... I
have
data
that represents Sick Time, Holiday Time, etc in single cells on a
spreadsheet. For example, to represent a Sick day of 5 hours, a
single
cell
would show S5. What I am attempting to do is 1. Identify which
cells in a
single column have an S, 2. Once identified, add the value next to
S to
the
sum of all Sick time. To get the count of S I used
Countif(B5:B370,"S*")
This works. But I have tried all kinds of combinations to Sum the
resulting
numbers. This is a group common spreadsheet so separating the data
to
multiple cells is a bit of a fight. Any help would be
appreciated.
